[RFC 00/13] perf test: Add perf_event_attr tests

[Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com>]

hi,
this code tests the link between perf stat/record command line
options and final perf_event_attr struct values. Also it tests
the group fd linkage.

It's probably missing many command line option combinations
worth testing. I wanted to check with others for more ideas
before diving into this.

You can check this also here:

thanks,
jirka
